The Power 25 – April 11
After two months of action, Top MMA News decided to update the POWER Rankings, which is our list of the top 25 fighters from Canada outside of ZUFFA ranked on talent, recent wins, and potential as seen by Top MMA News.
There has been a lot of movement in the rankings. None bigger than former #1 John Alessio, who moves on to the UFC and off the Power 25. Also removed from the Power 25 are Martin Desilets and David Loiseau who have been inactive over the past year.

Hi Bobby. Tyson is almost all healed up and will be back to being a beast shortly, Kurt has had something on the horizon for a while now that never seems to get here but he is looking better then ever so look out lol, and I should be back in there soon I have had a lot of fights not work out over the last 6 months but when one happens I’ll be ready.
Well-loved!

Thanks for the update man. Good luck to your team!
Thanks man, I appreciate the support!
fraser should say SFS as well. Our event was called mitv but was a sfs event!!!!
great article!! altho i dont agree mike ricci is that low, cruickshank and curran r his losses, wow!!!
Kurt Southern and Tyson Steele both signed with a major organization that we cannot name yet, hopefully soon the press releases will be done and we can officially hype it up.
We have 3 more potential fights in the works for Adam Lorenz over the next 3 months so hopefully finally we can get one of these to actually happen!
Well-loved!

Good info!
naturally i’m not on this list lol
April. We stopped doing the Power 25. It seemed to create too much confusion with the readers.
Too bad… I would have loved to see this keep going, maybe with a bigger group of people contributing to the rankings!
More rankers = more movement that people did not seem to understand
